Should

  • Food scraps (including things like melon rinds, roots, stems, leaves, cores, husks, seeds, skins, peels, etc.). Exceptions to this are listed below.
  • Egg shells (but not whole eggs), seaweed and rinsed seashells (like oyster shells; not shrimp peels)
  • Old natural fiber clothing (old t-shirts, socks, boxers, etc)
  • Natural yarn, twine and string
  • Non-glossy paper products (cardboard boxes, newspapers, magazine inserts, most junk mail, envelopes, etc)
  • Tea leaves and bags (remove the staple!); coffee grinds and filters
  • Dead plants, grass clippings, pine needles and leaves – just make sure they have not been sprayed with pesticides
  • Natural non-treated wood and byproducts like wood ash, sawdust and shavings (no coal ash)
  • Feathers and hair (human, cat, dog, etc.)
  • Dryer lint

Shouldn't

  • Lemon, lime, orange or other citrus peels and juice (in excess this will make the soil too acidic)
  • Onions and garlic (a good rule of thumb is if it makes you smell, it makes your worm bin smell)
  • Meat, fats, grease, bones or oils (no butter, lard, stocks, soups, etc)
  • Plastics and plastic coated paper (like glossy magazines)
  • Stickers, including veggie stickers (remove stamps from envelopes)
  • Bread or yeast products (no crackers or cakes)
  • Salt, pepper and other spices
  • Milk, dairy or dairy products
  • Cat or dog feces
  • Diseased or infested plants
